Patent EP-1044645-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FULGHAM TRENT A
IPC: A47L11/30
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: An extraction machine (101) for cleaning a floor surface, such as carpeting, has a
cleaning solution dispenser capable of dispensing a cleaning solution onto the surface being
cleaned and a diluting solution dispenser capable of dispensing a diluting solution onto the
floor surface. The diluting solution is substantially different from the chemical cleaning
solution. A recovery system is included for extracting a dirty solution from the floor
surface. The cleaning solution dispenser, diluting solution dispenser and recovery system
are arranged on the extraction machine (101) relative to each other such that as the
extraction machine is moved over a segment of the floor surface in a forward direction of
travel of the machine, the cleaning solution dispenser passes over the segment prior to the
diluting solution dispenser, dispensing cleaning solution to promote the removal of dirt
from the floor surface segment. The diluting solution dispenser then passes over the
segment of floor surface to promote suspension of the chemical solution and dirt in the
diluting solution thereby forming the dirty solution. Finally, the recovery system passes
over the segment of floor surface to extract the dirty solution from the floor surface, thereby
leaving a cleaned floor surface.

Abstract: A walker having a frame (4) which provides two front legs (6,8). Two
rear legs (12,14) are attached to the frame. A cross member (22) provides
support for the device which is supplemented by a link (26). Each of these

the walker may be folded for storage. The cross member (22) and link (26)
provide bracing for structural integrity, but are also incorporated into the
folding structure. The optional seat (2) is also in a pivotal relationship with the
device. The seat (2) prevents the walker from being folded while it is being

Abstract: The invention comprises a printing device wherein a head
comprising a plurality of nozzles at a predetermined pitch is used
for repeated primary scanning and sub-scanning to print images. The
primary and sub-scanning are carried out in such a way as to comply
with the following conditions. In the case of printing at a high
resolution, dots are first formed during bi-directional operation
of the primary scan. Second, the direction in which the dots are
formed is aligned for each raster line. Third, a plurality of raster
lines formed during operation in the sane direction are adjacent to
each other. Dots are formed under such conditions to allow the
direction in which the dots are formed to be locally aligned. That
is, locations with easily discernible shifts in the dots formed
during forward travel and the dots formed during return travel can
be reduced, allowing the grainy look of images to be improved.
